Chapter 164: Connecting with Foreign Countries

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Houzhao rushed back to the clouds.

When he returned to the clouds, when he saw Xie Zhi, he proudly showed off to Xie Zhi, and said, "Xie Wu, do you know?" How much money did this palace earn on this trip back to Beijing? ”

Don't you know how to write a calm son?

Without waiting for Xie Zhi to say something, Zhu Houzhao stretched out three fingers and said excitedly: "It's not thirty taels, it's not three hundred taels, it's not three thousand taels, it's thirty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels... You know? ”

Xie Zhi took a breath of cool air.

It seems that the officials formulated by Emperor Hongwu are the lowest without the ancients and the future, but those officials are still very generous, and in just one day, they can raise 30,000 taels of silver to buy incense.

Xie Zhi was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show too much on his face, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you still remember the promise to the minister." ”

Zhu Houzhao really has a lot of problems, but the only thing is that he is really atmospheric, he didn't escape at all, and waved his hand directly: "Don't worry, this palace remembers, 20% of the profits earned are given to you, and this palace will not repay the debt." ”

It's good that you don't pay your bills.

Zhu Houzhao was busy arranging the balm, and he didn't care about going to Yunzhongwei again.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and Wang Shouren also has to be responsible for collecting taxes and grains and storing them in the granary in the county.

Before the grain enters the granary in the county, the granary must be strictly inspected to ensure that the granary is foolproof.

If there is a leak, it must be repaired in time, and mold must not happen.

Xie Zhi couldn't be idle, he summoned all the villages and villages to the county government, and strictly told them to supervise every household to take back the grain and store it.

This matter has little to do with the county, but the grain is damaged and the people have no food to eat, but they still have to rely on the county for relief.

"You are the village leader, some are still the patriarchs, I hope you will urge each family to collect grain carefully, pay the court taxes, and the rest must be carefully kept, rely on the sky to eat, this year's harvest is good, not necessarily every year's harvest can be like this."

After several villages agreed, Xie Zhi said: "This county will send people to collect taxes and grain from each village one after another, and I hope you can tell the villagers in each village to pay grain seriously. ”

If this level is not well controlled, there will really be fakes.

After all, there are so many people, once they get together, it's not easy to find out who is who's family.

......

After receiving the official field, Xie Zhi sent Xu Jing with He Sanyou and a dozen other servants to take 1,000 stone of grain and grass and send them to Wuliangha.

When sending these grains, Xie Zhi did not hide people, and he was not high-profile along the way, but he was also looked at by many people.

Among the Beijing teachers, there is an undercurrent surging for this matter.

Hearing the wind, Yu Shi is sharpening his pen and preparing to write the impeachment recital.

On the other side, there are several waves of people who want to take advantage of this incident to bring down Xie Zhi.

The most active is Zhou Shou, since Xie Zhi arrived in Yunzhong, although it is only a small county order, his fame has spread to Beijing.

Zhou Shou has always been looking for an opportunity to give Xie Zhi a fatal blow.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, who dared to bully his Zhou family, Xie Zhi beat Zhou Ping, how could the evil breath in Zhou Shou's heart pass so quickly.

Emperor Hongzhi's desk was almost full of excerpts for the impeachment of Xie Zhi.

When he was upset about staring at a pile of folds, Xiao Jing walked in with a pile of folds in his arms and reported: "Your Majesty, there is another impeachment of Xie Zhixian." ”

Emperor Hongzhi took a copy casually, only glanced at it, then threw it aside, snorted coldly, and said with resentment in his mouth: "These people take the orders of the imperial court, but they don't want to force me to be Ming and enrich my people. ”

Although Emperor Hongji rarely lost his temper, once he did, it was still very scary.

Xiao Jing didn't dare to say much on the side, at this time, no matter what he said, Emperor Hongzhi had to find some faults.

After a moment, Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Xie Qing knows all these excerpts about the impeachment of Xie Zhi, right?" ”

Xiao Jing replied: "It should be clear that Gong Xie is in the cabinet, and these folds are to be sent there first." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "The Xie family is full of loyal martyrs, Xie Qing has worked hard for me, but Xie Zhi is thinking about the overall situation and is willing to be misunderstood by the world." ”

Emperor Hongzhi commended the Xie family father and son, and Xiao Jing on the side was a little jealous and didn't say much.

At this moment, a little eunuch at the door looked in vigorously, and it seemed that there was something urgent.

Xiao Jing raised his feet and walked to the door, and the little eunuch stretched out his head and whispered a few words in Xiao Jing's ear.

Xiao Jing's face changed slightly, he waved away the little eunuch, walked quickly to Emperor Hongzhi's side, and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are asking for an order outside the Fengtian Palace, please Your Majesty severely punish Xie Zhi who is in a foreign country." ”

Hongzhi got up with a red bottom, slapped the table, and said indignantly: "If they want to kneel, then they will kneel and go, and they don't have to care." ”

The autumn sun is not as hot as it is in summer.

A group of officials in court clothes knelt in front of the Fengtian Temple, wiping the beads of sweat from their faces.

From the morning, until noon, and finally in the evening, I could not wait for the will of Emperor Hongji.

Someone fell one after another at first.

The three members of the cabinet can guess some of what happened.

Xie Qian was in the cabinet, and he was a little restless all day, if this matter was someone else's, he didn't have to wipe his hands at all, he just waited for Emperor Hongzhi's decision.

But this matter has something to do with his son, and Xie Qian doesn't make a speech, which seems to be a little unfeasible.

When he was about to leave duty, Xie Qian went to Nuan Ge to meet Emperor Hongzhi.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi saw Xie Qian coming, his dark face immediately brought a little smile, and he said with a smile: "Xie Qing, are you here?" Look and sit. ”

Xie Qian did not sit down, and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter is all because of the dog, Your Majesty does not need to be embarrassed, please Your Majesty severely punish the dog to set an example." ”

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment when he was about to pick up the teacup, and asked, "The reason why Xie Zhi sent Wuliangha a thousand stones of grain, can the Qing family know?" ”

Xie Qian paused for a moment and said: "The minister is in the cabinet, the specific reason is unknown, but the approximate reason, I can still guess some of it, this matter should be related to the matter of Liaodong, right?" ”

What is solved in the cabinet is a major matter of the court, and if Xie Qian doesn't know, then he is lying.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and after saying the specific reason, he said: "What Xie Zhi said is reasonable, you must not cut off your contacts with Uliangha, otherwise you will only fill the Tatars, although the people of Liaodong Li Gao should be killed, but if they are killed for this matter, it can relieve their anger, but it will lose the face of the court." ”

Xie Qian was surprised, and there was something strange in his heart, the strategy of his unsuccessful son was also very clever.

Then, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xie Zhi has carried this, how can I withdraw him again, go back to the Qing family, the Qing family doesn't have to think much about this matter." ”

What Xie Qian should have done has been done, and since Emperor Hongzhi is so insistent, Xie Qian will not say more.

After Xie Qian came out of the warm pavilion, he was ready to leave the palace and go home.

As soon as he left the palace, a black shadow ran out of nowhere and hit him directly on the head with a stick.

After a while, Xiao Jing reported the matter to Emperor Hongzhi in a panic.

"Your Majesty, when Gong Xie left the palace, he was beaten, and after the patrolling fifty percent of the soldiers and horses found out, they were sent home."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pale, and he said, "Dare to beat the imperial court officials? Spread the decree of Jinyiwei, East Factory... To check for me, and to find out who organized the person who asked for the order outside the Heavenly Temple, I want to see if this is really a request for the sake of the court, or a premeditated invitation. ”

Those who can come together like this are not organized by people, and ghosts don't believe it.

Emperor Hongzhi focused on this aspect, which shows that he is going to be serious.

Xiao Jing didn't say much, and replied: "The slave obeys the order." ”

After Emperor Hongzhi sent his manpower, he did not rest and waited for news.

When it was almost time to give birth, Xiao Jing and Mu Bin finally arrived.

Mu Bin took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the people who beat Duke Xie are a few down-and-out scholars, and these people have been in and out of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion many times..."

Xiao Jing quickly said when Mu Bin was about to speak again: "Your Majesty, outside the Fengtian Palace, Zhang Cai, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has visited many courtiers many times, and Zhang Cai's request for the order of the Fengtian Palace should have something to do with it. ”
